Finally! Feels like a week since we've played so it's great to see us in action again. With Pop watching the last couple of games, he came up a new defensive scheme and put players through the paces in practice.

We're once again depleted, but looking forward to everyone available showing a renewed defensive intensity and focus. Let's get after it!

We have put in some great work lately, but we only have a one game lead on the Rockets so its better that we keep focused tonight.

Malaki starting with a three guard unit. Interesting!

Pop mixing things up to find the right chemistry.

More assertive start.

Good job by Collins except for that telegraphed pass.

We have to make sure we're running back in D and keep pushing it forward on O.

Good box out by Collins, great D to O push for the Keldon dunk and foul.

Great recognition by Keldon to see the left lane and drive.

More physical D and better man D as well.

Good place and vertical push.

Scrambling but MUCH BETTER ENERGY!!!

Malaki with EXCELLENT MAN D, moving feet guiding his man to the waiting help D and Bassey's massive volley ball block.

Roby is a really nice guy but there's an element of softness to his game - soft passes, soft drives, etc.

1ST Q: SPURS 24 ROCKETS 29

WELCOME BACK, POP!

Well we had a lead for a bit there but a dyr scoring spell and giving up some late Q 3s has us in a deficit.

End of Q, Pop actually ahd to motion to remind our guys to get on up on D for full court press on their final shot. We defended well but that it needed reminding is a sign of a young team and our habits.

Really good shooting from anywhere but the 3 where we were 0-7. Jesus. Please, basketball gods, let our 3s start and stay falling through the hoop!

I like how we were far more asertive if still a bit tentative on O - we've got THREE starters missing so some lack of familiarity is a factor.

I like for the msot part how we ran back on D and how we rebounded.

Tre and Keldon have been doing a lot of god work on drives, and Collins has been more assertive in the paint as well.

Much better D overall - feet moving, arms out, switching and rotating and contesting better - which is a welcome sight.

We keep overloading on the right side on O with four Spurs there time and again. Not sure that's by design. We need to keep moving off ball.

Keldon can get anything he wants inside in this game.

Post #15 » by **G R E Y** » Fri Dec 9, 2022 2:21 am

Fundamentals - keep your eye on the ball lol

Post #16 » by **G R E Y** » Fri Dec 9, 2022 2:23 am

Fundamentals - RUN. BACK. ON. D.

Post #17 » by **G R E Y** » Fri Dec 9, 2022 2:23 am

Fundamentals - rotate faster on help D.

Post #18 » by **G R E Y** » Fri Dec 9, 2022 2:24 am

Fundamentals - keep your pivot foot in the post.

Post #19 » by **G R E Y** » Fri Dec 9, 2022 2:27 am

Fundamentals: good rebound, QUICK outlet pass, Keldon running out to the far right, one pass, corner 3!

Post #20 » by **G R E Y** » Fri Dec 9, 2022 2:29 am

That's the third crappy pass by Collins, telegraphing it after picking up his dribble for another TO.
